Equation Examples in the Manual

Submitted by Tom on 2013/07/05 11:17
 
Looking at the Equations page (I was thinking of adding the example that Jan gave Pulling vs Pushing row equations)
So I had a look at the Examples on that page Field Management Dialog - Equations
 
Okay,
the first one doesnt make an ounce of sense to me - it seems to me that there's a cut/paste typo on the first line, but even apart from that, there's no indication where the "Function..." script below the screenshot should go.

Pulling vs Pushing row equations

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2013/07/04 10:27
So i created a field = 2_blog (This is boolean field that identifies items I've collected that I want to publish on my blog)
When i identify an item as 2_blog I want to auto assign "GTD_FoloUp"
 
If I understand push, i would have some equation in the "Item" field
If I understand pull, I would have some equation in the "2_Blog" field
 
It makes more sense to me to add a pull filter in "2_Blog" but this doesn't seem possible. I guess I should understand this by now but I don't
If it's only push, won't the "item" field eventually get overloaded with multiple equations? 
 
in either case I don't know the proper syntax. 
 
Thanks.

Commenting filters seems to work -- OUPS, no it doesn't

[EDIT 2013 07 02]
Actually, it just partially works.
More later.
[/EDIT]
 
[EDIT 2013 07 03]
It seemed to work because half of the filter (in the example below) still worked : "IDItem in (167233)" worked, but not "check is null"
[/EDIT]
 
=========
Not sure why I never tried it, but it seems to work.
 
 
 

Lineage display (status bar) while browsing the "Find" special grid slow down operations to a crawl

Submitted by Armando on 2013/07/02 15:43
Hi Pierre,
I've stopped using the  lineage display because of this. I always forget to turn it off and wonder why IQ has become so slow.
I just remembered today : Could the lineage display be automatically disabled when in the find grid ? Unless it's possible to make it as fast as with another grid... But I believe the process is somewhat different (no queries in normal grids).
Thanks

New Calendar component ...

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2013/06/27 18:34
The current calendar component is an Outlook clone and is seriously limiting. Namely:
  1. Does not support drag and drop of items from a grid to the calendar (say to create a meeting for a given contact)
  2. Display is limited to pre-defined time scales
  3. Can only select one event at a time (move, resize, etc)
  4. No year view
  5. Does not support using the mouse to move around the calendar days
  6. Does not support filtering
  7. Does not support HTML tags or icons
  8. Does not support ad-hoc display of items with date values (only "scheduled" items)
We've decided to switch to another calendar component which support all of these. It is from the same supplier as the grid.
 
The decision was not an easy one as the current calendar component is not bad, and significant time was invested in integrating it with InfoQube.

Responsiveness in IQ

Submitted by Jon on 2013/06/27 09:43
I occasionally have to use Ecco to access some archived data. The responsiveness of Ecco is impressive. Returning to IQ after a session with Ecco is (I am resorting to hyperbole here) like swimming in molasses. Is there anything that can be done to improve this situation? I can accept tht this may be a limitation of the program, but I am hoping otherwise.
 
This is not to detract from what Pierre has built. I am just wondering if performance can be further improved.

graphing from csv files (maybe I should use spreadsheet)

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2013/06/23 12:43
But anyway, here's the need
 
On my phone (& my wife's phone) we are keeping track of what we spend daily so we can see where it goes & where we might trim. 
The program is very simple which I like.  goo.gl/q4xhY

Enter a number, it automatically adds today's date & offers categories & note
It then immediately converts that data into a line graph (very neat)
I can export data to csv file
 
Question:
I'd like to merge our two files & represent spending graphically
Can IQ do this?
